I want to FINISH a story, not start one.
So, I have started pretty much a hundred different stories since my entire life began, but not one was finished. I have the time and effort, but... I am afraid... of failing to make my story about my two creatures a success;. And you know what most what happens to people who write the same story over and over in different ways... they get boring and no longer looked at.

I have only one story in mind, and I plan to write only one story, and can currently think of only one story: The story of my creatures.

Now, this may seem small and insignificant next to all time writers and even average writers, but to me, it's a dream to leap out into the world with a thrilling success story with my characters in it that one day in my lifetime hits the big screen.

I realize this only happens to one in a billion people, but I tell you... people are commenting on my english more and more everyday. One person said I made them feel stupid... without meaning to (and I appologized, of course.) by my use of profound english and ability to speak myself in front of them. I could be one of those 1 in a billion writers!

So what am I lacking? What am I so afraid of? If I am that one in a billion, why is failing even a problem?

You see, if I fail, and the story I write is no good, I can't write it over again, and thus, the one-time shot of ever seeing my creatures on the big screen is... well... shot.

You may ask, why do you even care about it so much? My answer: I cannot describe in words what they mean to me. I don't have the money to promote them in the way I want them to be seen as, so... I turn to writing as my last resort. It may take time, commitment, effort, and a lot of support from others, but it can be done.

So, I ask this of you. All of you. I'm talking to you, yes. You, you, and you. Please... keep me going. Give me supporting words on my page. Keep my burning fire kindling. I really want to make this a success.

For everyone who supports me and keeps me going, I will send a FREE signed copy of my finished product to the users who do and send me their shipping address.

Yes, a free copy! All you have to do is continue to support and uplift me. Because I have no support. No friends or family. They all have passed away. I'm all alone. So, I'm looking to you... yes, you. You, you, and especially you... to help me stay convicted and keep my fire of writing alive.

And for that, you will be acknowledged and put into the book as inspiration and support. Every one of you. Even if my book does NOT make the all-time list, I will still be happy... knowing that I had finally done it... creating my first book. And each of you will still get a free copy.

Also, for those of you who live in Boise Idaho, I am holding a FREE copy pick-up-at-my-house on the day that the book is released to public, with 100 copies available to be picked up.

This book is going to awesome. I already have an idea of what to write, and it's completely original and 100% self-made material. I just need the drive and support to get me started and continue along the way.

Thank you, writing.com for making this a possibility.

Also, note that I will not be posting my book online here, since a premium/upgraded membership is required to do this, and I don't have the money or even a job to do this. If someone cares enough to purchase a membership for me, then I may post some chapter previews, but that is pretty much all I can offer on this website.
